When Marvel unveiled the teaser for Marvel Zombies in the series What If…?, many saw it as a quirky one-time exploration. However, this has evolved into Marvel Studios Animation’s first TV-MA-rated project, marking a shift in tone. The newly released trailer signals that this will not be your typical family-friendly Disney+ viewing. Expect violence, gore, and an intense horror vibe that’s unlike anything else in the MCU recently. The trailer reveals a group of survivors fighting to navigate a landscape where Earth’s Mightiest Heroes have turned into terrifying monsters. Here’s a closer look at the characters featured in the Marvel Zombies trailer.
The trailer kicks off with Shang-Chi and Katy barricaded inside what appears to be a besieged hotel. They’re soon joined by a formidable group including Yelena Belova, Kate Bishop, and Scott Lang, forming a compelling survival squad. We even catch a glimpse of T’Challa, continuing to fight despite a serious injury, alongside Red Guardian, who adds much-needed muscle to their ranks.
But it’s not just about superpowered beings; we also see more grounded characters. Jimmy Woo struggles to keep pace in a world gone mad, while Kamala Khan’s infectious positivity injects a glimmer of hope within the chaos. Together, they present a last stand against the tide of undead heroes, but in the grisly world of zombies, the lingering question remains: who will survive to see the end?

Thanos appears as a zombie, still clutching the Infinity Gauntlet, making it clear that the threat level is higher than ever. Moreover, characters like Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne are seen soaring as zombies, undoubtedly complicating the odds for our beleaguered survivors.

Amid the primary conflicts, the trailer is replete with blink-and-you’ll-miss-them moments. We spot Spider-Man brutally dispatching zombies, executing moves that are as swift as they are shocking. Blade emerges as a formidable presence as well, appearing as a variant dubbed Blade Knight, showcasing his own unique style.
Additionally, Ghost is briefly depicted as a zombie, only to meet a rapid end at Blade’s hands. Baron Zemo is also drawn into this dark fray. A quick encounter between Thor and the zombie version of Scarlet Witch serves as a stark reminder that even gods are entangled in this nightmare.
